Too Faced Born This Way x Jackie Aina Foundation Review

Oyinkan

I love seeing YouTubers rise up and create change within their respective industries. The Too Faced Born This Way Foundation didn’t have enough shades for dark-skinned women so Beauty Vlogger, Jackie Aina collaborated with Too Faced to expand their shade range so the brand can cater to women of darker skin tones. I knew I had to get my hands on this new release! Take a peek at my full first impression which includes an 8-hour wear test which allowed me to see how the foundation lasts over time on my oily skin. Pros…

Mac x Patrick Starrr Spring Collection – Me So Fleek Review

Oyinkan

I’ve been watching Patrick Starrr’s YouTube channel for years! With the Mac x Patrick Starrr Spring Collection being his second collab with Mac Cosmetics, I knew I had to get my hands on it! The collection comes in 2 sets; Me so Fleek and Me So Chic! As a bright color fanatic, naturally, I gravitated to Me so Fleek as Me So Chic didn’t have enough color for my liking. As a lover of florals, it was so hard to resist purchasing this collab after watching his announcement video which was filled…

Is Fenty Body Lava Worth Your Coin?

Oyinkan

I finally got my hands on the Fenty Beauty Body Lava! Because I’ve been a shimmer fanatic since my teenage years, I couldn’t wait to have it, but I must admit that I initially wasn’t going to get the Body Lava as I prefer being loyal to the Bath and Body Works Diamond Shimmer Mist that I’ve been using for so many years. It’s my holy grail! I eventually caved in and figured that if I’m going to try something new, I might as well compare it to whats been working for me.…

Is Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle Worth It?

Fenty-Beauty-Mattemoiselle-Befitting-Style

I try not to talk too much about Fenty Beauty but it’s sort of hard not to when her new collection, Mattemoiselle is filled with so many vibrant shades as well as a few neutrals. Lipstick is my favorite part of getting dolled up and a matte lipstick is the key to my heart (amongst many other things). Take a peek at the first impression video above. I purchased 6 of the 14 shades (Candy Venom, Midnight Wasabi, Griselda, Clapback, Freckle Fiesta, Spanked) as her bright colors immediately attracted me! Without further ado, here are…

Glow Through The Holidays

Oyinkan

Its my favorite time of the year and what better time than the holidays to (in the words of Rihanna) shine bright like a diamond. Everyone can use a little extra glow in their life. These golden box braids has led me to use more gold than usual but I always believe the more gold the better. Throughout the weeks of rocking these braids, I’ve been wanting to wear everything similar to this color such as a golden highlighted face, sometimes a bit of neutral, as well as bronze and golden…

Does The Urban Decay Velvetizer Actually Work?

Urban Decay Velvetizer - Befitting Style

When you hear of a powder that makes your makeup more luscious and matte than it is, it’s definitely worth a try! The Urban Decay Velvetizer is a translucent mix in powder that is said to give your foundation a matte finish and also doubles as a finishing powder. I was a bit apprehensive because I tend to stay away from white powders due to a fear of them not cooperating with my dark skin tone. Despite my apprehension, I decided to give it a try and mixed it with the Maybelline Fit Me…

Had To Try Maybelline x Shayla + Fit Me Foundation and Powder

Oyinkan

I love when companies acknowledge women of color and there’s no greater way to show appreciation than collaborating with a woman of color! Towards the end of summer, Maybelline and MakeupShayla created the Maybelline x Shayla eyeshadow palette as a part of the City Mini collection. I previously tried one other city mini and wasn’t too crazy about it but my love for Shayla’s videos convinced me to give this collection another try. I also figured why not try the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and Powder as well. Take a peek at…

Navy Bustier + Yellow Ruffle Shorts – Miami Swim Week 2017

Oyinkan

The final day of Miami Swim Week was jam packed with shows back to back. One of my favorite highlights of the week are the free workout classes provided by Swim Week. I spent Saturday twirling around in a tulle skirt and was certain that I was going to wake up early and head straight to the boxing class. To my surprise,  I ended up not attending the workout class. I’ve been so diligent with my gym workouts every morning that I just wanted to relax on Sunday and it felt amazing! No gym session, no boxing…

Tulle Overboard – Miami Swim Week 2017

Oyinkan

If there’s one thing that Wendy Williams and I have in common, it would be the love for tulle. For Day two of Miami Swim Week, I had to bring out one of my style favorites, a tulle skirt (also known as a tutu). I love tulle because it makes me feel so girly and dainty and I believe you are never too old for a tutu. I twirled my way to the Soho Beach House to check out Makalo Swimwear and several others, then off to the Sports Illustrated Swim show afterward. I kept the same neutral makeup…

Sports Illustrated Swim For All – Miami Swim Week 2017

Oyinkan

Sports Illustrated is known for their coveted magazine but they recently launched their swim line during Miami Swim Week! Because their cover girls tend to sizzle in bikinis, I expected two things: sexy and sporty. It’s been a long time coming and I’m actually surprised that they waited this long to start a swimwear line. What I love most about it is how inclusive it is. Created for women of many sizes, the bathing suits were created with real women in mind, which comes at no surprise as Sports Illustrated has showcased…
